A note to new registrants...
All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.
A Special Note about Email accounts!
DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.
A note to old forum members...
I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.
Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.
Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

That is an awesome pic!
+1! I have a pic of one of my cats on the seat of my 450 from many years ago, but it's a real print pic, not a digital one... and no scanner... told my wife she always wanted to be a bikie chic
Eric, I still say put the Trumpy motor in the GS... you know you want to...![]()
Very true.
Most of the missing pieces of the puzzle to get this engine working again showed up today!
Not GS Suzuki cheap by a long stretch at all.
New slightly dented tank, 1,700 mile young (speedo/ tach/ data screen) gauges, Ignition switch (part of the top triple tree),
front master cylinder and reservoir, right hand clip on, brake and clutch levers and missing right front foot peg.
Tomorrow I will be transferring over the internal fuel tank parts (fuel pump and fuel level sender), the top triple tree, master cylinder and foot peg.
Hopefully I have a couple of the missing/destroyed relays for the wire harness or can switch the non-esential lighting relays.

Due to the bike being in such a state, the ECU probably de-charged causing it to loose all of the presets on the map. There is a learning curve to the ECU as far as once it re-sets, you need to go out and ride it... full warm-up/full cool down, 3 times. It will then learn all of the O2 settings and such.
It sounds pretty good other than the low-end studdering, which is normal for a de-tuned ECU.
Do yourself a HUGE favor.
Download TuneECU, and get yourself a OBDII cable. Plug your bike into the computer... you can reset the TPS, modify the fuel maps, download free aftermarket fuel maps, and change your O2, Trims, and IACV (idle air control valve) settings.
Before going crazy... visit Tom Hamburg's website, you can download TuneECU for free, and all the maps...
Follow ALL the directions, and read EVERYTHING. It's pretty tricky to get started... but once you do... it's like second nature.
